What Sustainable Solutionz does

Sustainable Solutionz, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, develops circular substrates for the flexographic printing and packaging industry. Its core technology is a proprietary chemistry and material science platform that recovers end-of-life flexographic plates and mounting materials, reprocesses them, and returns them to production as PVC-free, high-performance substrates. The product portfolio comprises Enviromount™ (a .032 inch PVC-free mounting substrate), RENUflex™ (flexographic backing material in .042 to .152 inch thicknesses containing reclaimed plate content), RENUboard™ (rigid board material for industrial and structural applications), and RENUstrip™ (non-PVC recycled PET locking strips). The company holds proprietary technology including patented water-borne phenolic processes associated with its leadership.

The business model combines hardware sales of circular materials with a managed closed-loop service in which the company coordinates recovery, reprocessing, and return of end-of-life materials. Go-to-market is sales-led and partnership-driven, engaging directly with trade shops, corrugated and flexographic converters, and brand manufacturers through material trials and workflow integration support; distribution is domestic and direct, with no marketplace or reseller channels. The customer base includes Impact Imaging Group, CSW Inc., Emerald Packaging, and Amcor, with additional logos across Pratt, ALC, Printron, Dynamic, G2, and Mark Trece, and an academic partnership with Clemson University for independent performance testing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue.

Core offering

Sustainable Solutionz designs and manages a closed loop material system for the flexographic print and packaging industry. The company recovers end-of-life flexographic plates and mounting materials, applies proprietary chemistry and material science to reprocess them, and returns them to production as high-performance circular substrates (Enviromount™, RENUflex™, RENUboard™, RENUstrip™) that replace PVC and virgin-based materials.

Product overview

Sustainable Solutionz offers a portfolio of circular print and packaging materials designed to replace traditional PVC and virgin-based substrates. The product family includes Enviromount™ (PVC-free mounting substrate for corrugated plate mounts), RENUflex™ (circular flexographic backing material with reclaimed plate content), RENUboard™ (rigid board solutions for structural applications), and RENUstrip™ (recycled PET locking strips). These products work together within a managed closed loop system that recovers end-of-life print materials and returns them to production as high-performance substrates, eliminating PVC from the print workflow without compromising performance, consistency, or reliability.

Direct peers

• Miraclon: Miraclon (formerly Kodak Flexcel) supplies flexographic printing solutions, including plate-making systems and workflow consumables, to converters and trade shops globally. It competes in the same flexo prepress and substrate workflow that Sustainable Solutionz serves through its Enviromount and RENUflex product lines.
• Asahi Photoproducts: Asahi Photoproducts is a leading flexographic printing plate manufacturer serving the global packaging print market. It overlaps directly with Sustainable Solutionz in supplying plate-adjacent consumables and shares the same flexographic converter customer base across corrugated and flexible packaging.
• Flint Group / XSYS: Flint Group (including its XSYS flexographic solutions business) supplies plates, sleeves, inks, and printing consumables to flexographic and corrugated converters worldwide. It is one of the few incumbents with the chemistry capability and converter relationships to launch a competing circular substrate offering into the same trade shop channels Sustainable Solutionz targets.
• MacDermid Graphic Solutions (Element Solutions Inc.): MacDermid is the long-standing incumbent supplier of flexographic plates, mounting systems, and printing consumables, and is the very company Sustainable Solutionz's founder Dan Fry spent 40+ years at. Both sell substrates and workflow materials into flexographic trade shops and converters, making MacDermid the closest direct incumbent benchmark for the Enviromount and RENUflex product lines.
• DuPont Cyrel Solutions: DuPont Cyrel is one of the dominant global suppliers of flexographic printing plates and related workflow consumables used by converters and trade shops. It competes directly with Sustainable Solutionz in the flexographic substrate workflow, although it has not yet commercialized a PVC-free circular mounting system at comparable scale.

Broad incumbents

• tesa (Beiersdorf): tesa manufactures industrial tapes, including plate-mounting tapes used by flexographic printers and converters. It is comparable because it sits in the same flexographic workflow step (plate mounting) that Enviromount addresses, although it does not currently offer a PVC-free circular substrate.
• Lohmann Technologies: Lohmann supplies adhesive tape solutions including plate-mounting tapes and bonding systems for the printing industry. It is comparable as an incumbent supplier of consumables into the same flexographic mounting workflow Sustainable Solutionz serves.
• 3M (Industrial Adhesives & Tapes): 3M supplies double-sided mounting tapes, plate-mounting tapes, and adhesive systems used in flexographic printing workflows. It competes indirectly with Sustainable Solutionz in the plate-mounting step and represents a broad incumbent whose portfolio could be extended with a sustainable substrate offering.

Others

• Amcor: Amcor is both a listed customer/industry partner of Sustainable Solutionz and a major global packaging converter with sustainability commitments driving PVC substitution. It is comparable not as a competitor but as the type of brand-owner customer that anchors demand for circular flexo substrates and validates the technology roadmap.

Emerging players

• Mirflex (Flexcon): Flexcon manufactures specialty films and pressure-sensitive substrates used in printing, labeling, and graphics applications. It overlaps with Sustainable Solutionz in producing engineered film substrates for industrial print applications, with potential to expand into circular flexo substrates.
